How to add sources



It is compulsory to add official sources for ANY change or addition of information!

The new text has to be marked with a footnote.

Example:

new text{{C|1}}

This footnote is then referenced under "Sources" at the end of the article:

Example:

==Sources==

*{{C|1}}: [[Codex XY]], p. xx

Please note that it is absolutely compulsory to include pagenumbers (in the case of novels chapter numbers)!

If you are referencing different pages/ chapters from the same source the source itself is marked with a number, the individual pages or chapters by letters:

Example:

new text{{C|1: p. xy}} ... new text{{C|1: p. yz}}
==Sources==

*{{C|1}}: [[Codex XY]]:

In the case of novels, no pagenumbers should be given (they vary between translations and print runs). In this case chapternumbers are compulsory.

Example:

new text{{C|1: ch. xy}} ... new text{{C|1: ch. yz}}
==Sources==

*{{C|1}}: [[XY (Novel)]]:

Please first test this function in the Lexicanum:Immaterium.


I mean this seriously. This also applies to articles with only one source. If you do not correct this retroactively for your last day's work I will have to revert everything. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 09:01, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Regarding what?! The last stuff I did was SOLELY making everything that was messy into table... I know how to source, and I did in fact source my last work before today... I didn't source this work as I didn't actually add anything, just reorganized it so it wasn't a mess...--PsykieKILLA 11:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm. Okay. If there was no new stuff added I can't fault you. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 12:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I will make sure that new additions do have properly numbered sources though next time. --PsykieKILLA 21:55, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
